Wedding Wire...Final Destination

I am the Goldilocks of finding the wedding website that fits "just right."  I started no fewer than 5 sites for us, and looked at features of 10 others.  Yes, I am a bit OCD.  Yes, I could have created a site from scratch using a blog site or weebly in all that time.  In fact, I started those too. :)

I thought my requirement list was simple enough:

• Cool templates (um, duh)
• Ability to hyperlink
• Option to edit in HTML
• Collect online RSVPs (I know could use an outside tool, but really wanted one-stop shop)
• Flexiblity to lay out pics where I want, change fonts as needed, etc
• FREE, FREE, FREE. 

Sadly, when you google "best wedding website," you get sponsor articles.  Wedding message boards were more of a help, but a perfect site for one person could be a disaster for another.  I am at a dangerous stage in my web knowledge-- I know too much to be satisfied with filling out a data form that autopopulates my site, but not enough to start from scratch on a cool template.  I wanted to be in control, but have somebody else do the grunt work.

After MUCH searching, I'm rebuilding our site for the last time.  No, really.  I swear.  Our wedding info can now be found on www.weddingwire.com/KevEm.  It is free.  It lets me manipulate code if I actually feel like it.  It has RSVP functionalities, will post RSS feeds from my blog, has photo albums, lets guests make song requests...you can pick and choose which of these apps to utilize.  A great cross between simplicity and flexibility.  Would definitely recommend.
